this is great that this is starting. Was getting worried about this one for a sec

I drove past the site last night, and although my glimpse was brief I think there is a pile machine on site.

Yes there was people on site this morning, Any one know who is doing it? Hope it's someone local.

That would be John Holland.

lots of action today

Just to remind people, caus I forgot what the design was, is the render

According to the plans put on display by the ACC last year (which are in the first half of the thread), there's going to be just one crane for this project. There'll also be hoarding along North Tce and Bank St.

I hope Parlamento moves back into the corner tenancy, too. Nice food, there.

Nothing has changed, really. I suspect it will fade into the background, much like Spark88 seems to have done - if I look closely I'll get grumpy and point out awkward bits, but because nothing stands out as being obscenely dreadful, it will just fill up a gap or two and I'll forget it's there.

It won't be all bad. It'll be covered in retail tenancies on street level so it will bring a bit more life to that corner on top of that from its residents.. Plus it has no car parks but a huge bike storage area.

Some pics from yesterday:

AWESOME pics..

Nice to see something going ahead here. I wonder if development could be seen from Adelaide Oval... ..

Rebar on site suggests we can change this one to officially U/C.

Of course, if you can see the 40m Qantas House then yes these buildings will be seen from Adelaide Oval.

It is precisely that which makes this development exciting for me. The usual shot of Adelaide presented to the outside world is usually from the banks of the Torrens. The problem with this is that although picturesque, from such an angle the skyline has literally not changed since 1991. These buildings will change that.

I drove past the site in the middle of the day and it was a hive of activity, excavations appeared to be well and truly underway

Thanks AtD - could be only one due the 'great recession' too.
